If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.

To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.

Every human being has a purpose. I truly believe that.

度量要大如海能容纳一切，如春风润育万物；待人接物如行云流水般清白，情操像青天白日般光明，威仪如丹凤呈祥，言论如敲金石般响亮，持身如玉洁冰清般纯洁，胸襟抱负有如和风明月般和蔼，气概则如泰山般崇高。

Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

Every note has to mean something.
